"if you have nothing to hide, no worries"
Not true: "<a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1541962" target="_blank">http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1541962</a>"
Long story short, (couldn't find the Yale study I read some months ago), you might believe this when considering specific events, isolated from other data sets. But consider the amounts of data collected (check how many "web bugs" BI is collecting on its users...), social networking, and the latitude lawe emfrsmen has to demand access to what's been collected (at any time), over time...a comprehensive picture of the browsing habits of you and your children is (*not* "can be", but is) being compiled for possible perusal later. Where you go, what you do/buy when there, when you leave, what you look like while sitting in traffic...etc..
there is no where you can hide.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e300561ecad04e479000047erichbergerWed, 27 Jul 2011 08:32:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e300561ecad04e479000047
Precisely ! Have you noticed spam texts after downloading apps? Same for online, all your unique browsing history is being tracked, by multiple parties-, ISPs, ad networks, individual sites, etc. It bothers me, but we live in a different age right now, and if somebody is able to track and prevent some deranged maniac from shooting my little boy to dramatise his political beliefs (ala Norway) I don't have much of a problem with it. Depends on how much you trust government in the first place, if you have nothing to hide, no worries, because you can't hide anyway. If they choose, they can focus a satellite on your patio and find out whether you adrinking a beer or a Mai Tai, or illegally smoking outdoors.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e2fb90fecad04c27c00001agodsofoldWed, 27 Jul 2011 03:06:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e2fb90fecad04c27c00001a

This is actually not the first time they've admitted something like this. Starting in late 2001 the FCC has mandated GPS chips in all new cell phones. While for emergency purposes some of the chips can be activated remotely to enable on demand tracking.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e2f9e5d6bb3f7e056000002Concerned CitizenWed, 27 Jul 2011 01:13:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e2f9e5d6bb3f7e056000002

Understand you don't have to make a phone call to be tracked. If you turn off the antennae, you'd be tracked via specialized pings via satellite, telecomm tower, and other technology capable of 'reading' one's unique signature.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e2f344becad04621a000034George WashingtonTue, 26 Jul 2011 17:40:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e2f344becad04621a000034

To help fight crime? Doubt it.
Criminals buy prepaid phones with cash and trash them or steal someone else's phone. Granted you might catch a stupid criminal on a sprint family plan, but it's doubtful theyre smart enough to do any real damage to begin with.
